i know this is bait but still

You're not supposed to tell us you're baiting. We're supposed to guess that for ourselves.

can someone translate pls

squadron invitation
'what did you mean by that'
'right! inadequate bastard'

he is saying he wants you to join their "regiment" by right clicking his name and hitting the request to join the "regiment" by "regiment" he either means squad or clan but I'm not sure from the context
then he says "what would you like to say to this"
then "inadequate bastard"
google translate app's picture translation is really useful for this stuff

>Have a good game
>Team gets their shit pushed in and we lose
>Shit rp gain
>Have a shit game
>Team are amazing and we win
>Shit rp gain

I swear the game is working against me

It's pretty useful for hentai too

>P-47 BR increased across the board
>Finally

A friend of mine said the thing needs a 1.0 increase, but that seems a bit much. It already struggles in up-tiers against competent opponents who don't take head-ons or try to outspeed it.

eheheh

forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/401090-update-01032018-1750216/&do=findComment&comment=7478531

He makes a point. The KV-1B the Germans have is significantly stronger than the KV-1E the Russians have because it never has to face the extremely potent German guns that can pen it from 1km away, and instead faces mostly American and Russian guns that have trouble getting through the angled front.

>A good part of a plane effectiveness is based on the planes he's fighting (or the planes in his team). Pure performances matters but context too.
That doesn't make any fucking sense

there is no winnign against them. and even if they lose an argument, they will simply declare themselfes the winner and close the topic

What are your favourite planes for each nation to fly in realistic battles? Not sure what nation/plane I want to go for.

He has a point but this is the wrong place to bring that point up, he should be bringing that point up in situations like the KV-1B/E like you said

I see literally nothing wrong with what he's saying. BR is based on a vehicle's relative performance.

Any 5 series Italian plane, especially the second 205 with cannons

russian players are stronger because they grew up in a harsher envior- i mean in more tricky circumstances caused by western aggression

The G.55 is comically good, along with the G.55S if you are a good goy. Actually the regular, non-premium G.55 is significantly better due to having a lower BR and higher burst mass at no extra cost. It basically just noses up, climbs like mad and turns like mad. People try to turnfight you and get butchered because of it, even though the damn thing is so slow even a Spitfire can outrun it.

Besides that, the Yak series is actually really enjoyable, especially the 9P. Sure, you have to deal with Russian teams but they're fun planes that require you to not just climb due to how poorly they perform over 4km.

It is but the premium bolts perform the same as the p47d25 so shouldn't they share a battle rating? 4.0, 4.3, doesn't really matter but they really shouldn't be at a different BR

The Hitlerbolt has no ordnance, which is actually a big deal in something like the Thunderbolt (especially in Arcade and Tank Battles) so it has a .3 lower BR.

The Stalinbolt DOES have ordnance but also has a .3 lower BR.

:)

reminder that if Germany switched their tank production to exclusively mass produce StuGs_ they would have won.

Not really.

i'd love to see stugs getting raped by is-3s in 1946 so wehbraboos would shut up abou muh stugs.

what

Installing custom sights for T-64A
What file directory do I have to unzip the file into? I don't see a folder for UserSights
G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\War Thunder\???

warthunder.com/en/news/5361-development-martin-167-a3-american-mercenary-en
>still no F-100/MiG-19 announcement

>stugs allow 1 year extra of the war

Based

how about you fucking create the folder then you dumb tard?

>French get another American plane in the “French” tree
>a significant amount of actually Italian planes are still missing from the Italian tree
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Slavic monkeys

nobody gives a fuck about italians and especially some low br props
christ, you're worse thatn swedish niggers with their "swedish tree when"

>Last American alive in a Canberra just loads up on fuel and climbs to space
>Have no Avengers or Blind Hunts to track him down

Why is it ONLY Americans who do this? What is it about playing the USA that turns people into such cocksuckers?

It really wouldn't. You would be far better served moving everything onto the panther chassis

>Why is it ONLY Americans who do this?
t. haven't met tu-4 players or bong canberras

realism

Tu-4s don't even do this anymore, they just tend to suicide rush and get obliterated like retards. Every match against Americans some Canberra hangs around in space and waits for people to land before suicide bombing them on the airfield, or just never comes down.

ok helmetpotato

renaming of boosters to uptier tickets when?

because writing in UserSights don't work you goober

The fuck do you mean it "don't work"
Go to \War Thunder\, create new folder, rename folder UserSights, unzip there, this is not a complicated operation

>Fire a 105mm AP round straight through a T-55's front plate at point blank range
>Driver and fuel tank eats it all
>Proceed to get memed on by APBC

Why did the Russians ever bother developing ERA when all they had to do was strap some empty fuel tanks to the hull.

I did that. It don't work

>Amer*kan team DRASTICALLY outnumbers us
>Russian team has maybe 3-4 fighters left
>The cocksuckers STILL airfield camp and wait

You never, ever see non-American teams do this, it's just fucking absurd.

>It don't work
>picture of created folder
?!?!????!?!??!?!

Don't you know user that strong russian man can block an apds round?

Not talking about props you assblasted teeb

Not him but he probably means that he made the folder, put the files for the custom sight in it but the custom sight doesn't work in game

>unironically defending the joke that is the french air trench
+5GE!

I can't see past the clouds and low quality slavshit. What are you whining about now?

>wtf why won’t you turnfight my low-altitude turnfoghter in your high-altitude BnZ

You have to enable the sights in-game as well.

>image of thing
>>it don't work
>?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!?
What else do you want me to say goober? Here's the thing you told me to do. It don't work.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DON'T WORK
WHICH STEP ARE YOU STUCK ON. YOU HAVE THE FOLDER, NOW PUT THE FILES INTO IT.

>Literally just hovering around the airfield waiting for random dice rolls to win the game for you

Americans.

Thank you. This what I'm looking for, the shit that isn't obvious and what I didn't find with a few google searches.

Goober I did that. It don't work.

>plays slavshit
>complains about what other people do

Or maybe. They're climbing over their airfield so you can't ))) them. German teams do this all the time, I don't know what you're complaining about.

>Complaining about Slav(e) aircraft in the fifty cal meta

They weren't climbing. They danced most of my team, leaving us with about 3 fighters, then just ran back to their airfield as a group and never landed or climbed. They just hung low and hovered in circles.

>They just hung low and hovered in circles.
What the fuck who does this? If they were climbing sure, but just sitting low? Are they actual Russians?
I've never seen this before, do they speak? Do any of them have kills?

They had kills, most of our team in fact, but they all just dived super hard and ran back to base as soon as they got their kills. It wasn't so much "boom and zoom" as "boom and dive back to base to hide" for them.

daily reminder that
>5 years late
>should've been in the game from the begining
>only added becasue some player took their time doing the model
>if not for them he177 still wouldn't be added even in this update

>P-47D-28 now 4.7
So now you pick between worse performance or high repair cost? Smooth moves you fucking slavic monkeys

>Get in a dogfight with someone
>Even when he has all the advantages in the world, his sole strategy is to try and head-ons against me for some reason

Heavy bombers are useless flying turds, anyway. German ones are even worse.

>abloo abloo
>why isn't my OP 50. cal death machine lower so I can club people

doesn't change the fact that it should've been in the game from day 1

>Gaijin has unlimited staff
>Gaijin isn't work on 30 things at once
>Gaijin isn't coming out with content regularly

Not sucking Gaijin's dick. But holy fuck you're act like a spoiled brat.

reminder that the abrams blowout panels won't work

I'm at the point where I wish there were no bombers in the game at all because of what shitfuck wastes of space they are.

>xXBOMBAxHARRISXx takes out his Lancaster
>Makes it about halfway to the enemy bases before he is easily intercepted and fucking obliterated
>"BUUHUU WE NEED MORE BOMBERS!"

+10GE
!
>5 years late
they added tu-4, pby, b17 and multipule fucking bombers yet they never considered adding bomber for germany which was the ONLY fucking nation without heavy bomber

>defending the D-28 at 4.7
it's no better than the D-25

If you're Huxtable you can get fucked

>5 years late
You can apply this argument to anything, you just keep saying it like it means anything, it's meaningless.

Bitch about something worthwhile. Like the Hitlerbolt still being the lowest BR P47 but best preforming still.

> for germany which was the ONLY fucking nation without heavy bomber

Because we all know Germany was known for their heavy bombers

German teams were better for not having bombers, honestly.

))))))))))))))))))))))))))

nice fucking argument you retard
>lol why are you angry they didn't add he 177 sooner
>becasue germs didn't have single heavy bomber since the game release
>lol germany doesn't need bombers lol
